So later in the day, the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, tweeted that Van Hollen had met with Abrego Garcia and said that since Abrego Garcia had been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador's custody. The senator then tweeted out a picture of the two of them sitting at a table and said he had called Abrego Garcia's wife to pass along a message of love.

In a statement, White House spokesman Kush Desai said the meeting showed Democrats were prioritizing the welfare of what he called an illegal alien MS-13 terrorist. The Trump administration has repeatedly said Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, which is a transnational gang. But Abrego Garcia's lawyers dispute that, pointing to the fact that he doesn't even have a criminal record in the U.S.,

Yeah, so the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals tore into the administration, saying they are, quote, "...asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process." Judge J. Harvey Wilkinson, who was appointed by President Reagan, headed up that three-judge panel.

He noted that the Justice Department had already admitted it deported Debrego Garcia mistakenly and asked, quote, "...why then should it not make what was wrong right?" Earlier this week, a judge had ruled Abrego Garcia's lawyers should be able to question administration officials.

But the Department of Justice argues that that was untenable and said the government had no powers to return Abrego Garcia. But with this latest ruling, they have lost that argument. So now officials must explain what they're doing, if anything, to bring him back. Or they could appeal again, this time to the Supreme Court.

Yeah, so Judge Wilkinson said this is a slippery slope. In his order, he imagined a future in which there would be no assurances that the executive branch would not deport American citizens or train its powers on political enemies. He said we're in a moment where the executive and judicial branches are close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both.
